[Verse 1]
 
D                      Em              G
  My knuckles were bruised like violets
                      D                           D
  Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
                    Em           G
  Spineless in my tomb of silence
                       D                          D
  Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
                   Em           G
  And maybe it was egos swinging
                   D
  Maybe, it was her
D                 Em                            G     D
  Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C
  All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, sweet dream was over
      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for
                            C
  All throughout the Great War
                     G
  Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr
     Em                     D
  I vowed not to cry anymore
                              D
  If we survived thе Great War
 
Am Em G D
 
[Verse 1]
Am              Em
If you would've blinked then I would've
G       D
Looked away at the first glance
Am            Em
If you tasted poison, you could've
G       D
Spit me out at the first chance
Am               Em
And if I was some paint, did it splatter
G    D
On a promising grown man?
Am             Em
And if I was a child did it matter
G      D
If you got to wash your hands?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray
Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've
D
If you'd never looked my way
 
[Chorus]
                  G     D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G      D
At nineteen
        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Chorus]
 
            C
  All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, the bombs were close and
      Em                             D
  My hand was the one you reached for
                            C
  All throughout the Great War
                     G
  Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
     Em                       D
  I vowed not to fight anymore
                              C
  If we survived thе Great War
 
 
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
 
C     G       Em    D
  Uh-huh  Uh-huh
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am                G
  It turned into something bigger
Em                   D                            Am
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
                     G
  Your finger on my hair pin triggers
  Em                                      D                             Am
  Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth
              G                           Em
  Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
                D                 Am
  That was the night I nearly lost you
G                     Em      D
  I really thought I lost you
 
[Bridge]
    G
God rest my soul
  D
I miss who I used to be
    Am
The tomb won't close
C                           G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D             Am        C
I regret you all the time
        G
I can't let this go
  D
I fight with you in my sleep
    Am
The wound won't close
  C                  G
I keep on waiting for a sign
D            Am         C
I regret you all the time
 
[Verse 3]
   Em           D               C
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Em           D               C
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
G             D                 Am             C
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
G                D           Am        C   G   D
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
 
[Chorus]
      Am                       C
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G      D
At nineteen
        Am                             C
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G                D                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         C
Memories feel like weapons
G              D                  Am      C
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Chorus]
 
            C
  All that blood shed, crimson clover
     G
  Uhuh, the bombs were close and
      Em                             D

[Bridge]
 
Am                G
  It turned into something bigger
Em                   D                            Am

                     G

  Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth
              G                           Em
  Broken and blue, so I called off the troops

  I really thought I lost you
 
[Outro]
    G
God rest my soul
  D
I miss who I used to be
    Am
The tomb won't close
C                           G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D               Am     C
I regret you all the time
        G
I can't let this go

I regret you all the time
         G
Oh, God, rest my soul
  D
I miss who I used to be
     Am
The tomb won't close
C                      G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D              Am       C
I regret you all the time
        G
I can't let this go
  D
I fight with you in my sleep
    Am
The wound won't close
  C                  G
I keep on waiting for a sign
D               Am      C
I regret you all the time
 
D               Am      C
But I survived the great war
